Coast Warriors is Sydney’s chilled out small group tour operator own and run by Aussie locals. We target the fitter 17 to 60ish years of age travellers though older is fine if you can bushwalk and like what you see advertised :)
This tour offers one of Sydney's highest reviewed experiences for those seeking a relaxed Blue Mountains option. Our tours are run by fun local Aussies with the aim of being less of a tour and more of a feeling of a small group of mates on a day trip.
We have now been running this adventure for many years so you can put trust that we will take you to only the best and less touristy places within the Blue Mountains. Waterfalls, amazing lookouts, Glenbrook cafe stop (locals cafe), the Three Sisters at Katoomba, occasionally a kangaroo and often birds. This is a full day in the Blue Mountains generally away from all the tourists and other mainstream tour bus locations. Aussie snacks like Tim Tams & Vegemite are on offer too.
Public transportation options are available nearby

The Walk was too hard for my friend and myself. I understood it to be reasonably flat to start, but it was steps all the way. We turned back. The Younger ones enjoyed it though. Lunch was nice. Kieran the driver was great. So friendly and explained everything. A really good travel guide.

Kieran took the trip to the next level! The trip itself was amazing, but Kieran kept things fun and entertaining in the bus. I loved how active this tour is and the hikes are stunning. This one is repeatable!

We were super blessed with amazing weather. From start to finish, the trip was well organised with a prompt pick up and great tour guide Kieron, who over the course of the day gave us a lot of information and fun facts about not only Australia but where we were going. Especially for people who love the outdoors would highly recommend this to anybody who comes to Sydney, just be wary as the hike itself is quite steep, so might not be best if you have a fear of heights. But honestly, was amazing with fabulous views and clear skies. Nothing more, could’ve been done to make this trip any better!

This tour was really good. The Blue Mountains were absolutely beautiful! Our guide was great keeping us all entertained with local trivia on the bus going to each place. We spent just the right amount of time in each area.
